In order for you to enter trips for an employee, the employee’s HR master record must be available. As a rule, SAP Personnel Management (HR) creates the HR master records and makes whatever changes are necessary. You can, however, also create HR master records from Travel Management.
For this purpose, the personnel action Travel mini-master record is available, with which you can enter employee data relevant for Travel Planning and Travel Expenses.
The following aspects are important:
· Travel Privileges (Infotype 0017)
The employee’s travel privileges are stored In infotype 0017. Travel privileges control such things as which reimbursement amounts the settlement program applies and which receipts can be recorded for the employee.
· Cost center
For you to enter a trip for an employee, the employee must be assigned a cost center. Otherwise you can not save trips because the system can not find a trip costs assignment guideline.
If the cost center is missing, you can enter it using one of the following options:
· You enter a cost center in infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment).
· You enter a cost center in infotype 0017 (Travel Privileges).
· You enter a cost center in infotype 0027 (Cost Assignment, Subtype 02 Travel Expenses).
· Bank details
If you want to reimburse trip costs using data medium exchange, the bank details for each employee must be created in infotype 0009 (Bank Details).
